With AD Lite (is it Active Display Lite?) I have the problem that it reports that BaseStation is not running when I am using PlanePlotter to access the SBS-3 directly. Do you have BaseStation running?
I have to google the ACARS program. Never heard of that before.
I don't feed ShipPlotter. I only receive messages from ships from time to time (rarely). So it's not worth spending 25 Euros on a software that shows them. I'm hoping that Kinetic will release a version of BaseStation that also shows the position of ships.
But you are right. The reception of both NMEA and ACARS messages is so much easier with the SBS-3. No need for additional receivers! I really love it!
